I'm feeling a little sad too. My son is in Guam on his ship. I lost my hubby of 42 yrs. 3 yrs. ago. He was like a kid during Xmas. Guess I'll never get used to being without him. He died on Nov. 14, so the holidays are not too much fun for me.

So sorry for your loss! My father died suddenly on Thanksgiving (this was about 20 years ago now) but it took a long time before I could be happy again, and Thanksgiving was a sad day for quite some time. Take care of yourself!
